Open Drug Use In Somerville Park Has City Officials Looking For Action, But Not Sure What To Do

Drug use by homeless people has increased in a public park in the Davis Square neighborhood of Somerville in recent months, two city councilors said.

Parents who use Seven Hills Park have expressed concern about how to prevent their small children from picking up needles from the ground and whether it's safe to sit on the grass, city councilor Judy Pineda Neufeld said during the Somerville City Council meeting on Thursday, August 22.
